The first name on any Chanel event guest list, I’m sure, is Diane Kruger.

She joined Blake Lively on the red carpet at the celebration of Chanel Fine Jewelry’s 80th anniversary of the ‘Bijoux De Diamants’ collection created by Gabrielle Chanel in New York City yesterday evening.

Not surprisingly, she had first dibs on the Chanel Spring 2013 collection, as she often does, but I can’t say I’m particularly enamoured by this look.

Firstly the dress appears to be a tad too tight, squishing her twins. Secondly the strapless blue-and-black knee-length dress isn’t that exciting, or interesting.

But that may be down to Diane’s styling, because for once the model outdoes her on that score.

I am usually a huge fan of Diane. Not so much on this occasion. I like that she went for a yellow clutch, but sadly that’s the only thing I like about this look. The dress is ugly, and the fit is even worse. And don’t even get me started on the shoes.. She can do so much better than this…

Without praise or blame, for me. But… if Diane Kruger, the Queen of style doesn’t look amazing at a Chanel event… who can? Rose Byrne was definitely the best. Maybe this dress could be great with better accessories.

I Love It, she looks AMAZING. I think the dress is interesting enough; is not a typical/classic chanel dress and I love the styling too. It’s modern, fresh and not predictable. FABOULOUS as always… PERFECTION

I’m officially over Chanel. I don’t remember the last runway I enjoyed. I feel Karl, or his ghost designer team, just make overly fussy, unflattering clothes. Some pieces are good, and you can see that the quality and the workmanship put behind the garments is great, but the overall design and concept is poor, imo. And the shoes… chanel shoes are a mess.
I’m going to say it softly because I know Karl has a lot of die hard supporters jeje, but I think that it’s about time Chanel hired a new designer that brought new air.

Me too. I like blue and yellow as a combo, but this dress is ugly, shapeless, and unworthy of being called fashion. Plus, what is with those shoes? Oh well, even Diane has her off days. (Closes eyes and remembers Cannes)
